If the changed heading should be divided geographically, select May Subd Geog from the dropdown menu.

1XX Change to Heading

Indicate the new form of heading in this area. MARC tags for the heading can be selected from the Select Tag dropdown menu.

NOTE: Because changing the 1XX field of a heading may involve significant work on maintenance of the bibliographic and authority files both at the Library of Congress, and in other libraries, a cataloguer should consider the impact of such a change and be judicious in recommending one. Changing the 1XX field of a heading means also changing all occurrences of that heading in other authority records (e.g., use as BT references, appearance in scope notes, use with subdivisions, etc.).

Changing the 1XX field of a subject heading must be supported by adequate, appropriate authority research demonstrating clear preference for the proposed form. Cite references in 670s. When in doubt, contact the Cooperative Cataloging Team
